April Fools' Day: First two-minute TV candy commercial to air in early-prime-time the week before...

...the First of April on each US broadcast network (ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, and NBC) and on each US children’s cable TV network (Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon) to promote April Fools' Day as a fun springtime Halloween-like event where children and teenagers dress up in clown costumes and court jester outfits, visit their neighbors after dinner who have April Fools' Day balloons floating out in their front yards, and tell their neighbors jokes for candy. Young children need to tell only one joke (likely a Knock-Knock joke which can be told by a group of them) but each teenager actually has to get the adults to laugh at one of their jokes to get candy. The first candy company to air such an ad during the specified time period wins this challenge.

Future Challenges:

1) First US children’s cable TV network to show live prime-time coverage of children and teenagers doing the above activity on April 1st after sunset. Viewers are encouraged to display the TV with the show on it so children and teenagers can see it when they open their front door.

2) First US broadcast or cable TV network to show live coverage of a late-night April Fools' Day adult costume ball where men and women are dressed in funny and/or sexy clown/jester costumes and dance to humorous songs (such as those by “Weird Al” Yankovic) performed live. The show is hosted by a comedy duo and is shown live in at least 1,000 nightclubs across USA.

4) Children and/or teenagers participating in the customs of this tradition, to present it in a positive light, and to air the show the week before April 1st. [Expect teenage sit-coms to have their most unlucky teenage character to absolutely bomb at telling jokes (they'll getting laughs from the show's studio audience and viewers by how funny it is for them to not get laughs from the neighbors) and coming home with nothing in her/his candy basket.]

5) Adults attending an April Fools’ Day costume ball, to present it in a positive light, and to air the show the week before April 1st.

First half-hour TV cartoon special:

9) Have on their show a Democratic US House Representative and a Republican US House Representative who did a series of knock-knock jokes on the floor of the US House on April Fool's Day. The two must have switched starting off the joke each time, the jokes must have numbered at least 100, none of the jokes can be partisan, and the joke session must have be covered live by C-SPAN.

15) During their show on April Fool's Day, gets at least twenty A-List celebrities to call in and tell at least one knock-knock joke each.
